AVADH HELICONIA: Club House Landscaping Reflecting Indian Traditions

Award-winning design by Mahesh Nampurkar

The entire landscape, spread across 6 acres, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Gujarat. The design pays homage to the state's traditions by incorporating elements such as step wells, which are native to the region. These step wells not only add visual interest but also serve as a functional element, with one being integrated into the area surrounding the swimming pool.

As guests enter the club house, they are greeted by a magnificent stone carved fountain in the shape of a lantern. This grand entrance sets the tone for the entire project, exuding opulence and grandeur. The use of locally available materials, particularly the red Agra stone found near Gujarat, adds an authentic touch to the design.

One of the notable aspects of this project is the emphasis on supporting local craftsmanship and generating employment opportunities for the Indian workforce. By utilizing the skills of the Indian handicraft industry, the project showcases the beauty and intricacy of traditional craftsmanship.

The design of AVADH HELICONIA is not just visually stunning but also functional. The fountain at the entrance symbolizes the Indian tradition of welcoming guests with lights and water, creating a sense of purity and positivity. Every element in the landscape has been carefully planned to create a royal ambiance and an earthen feel, fulfilling the client's desire for a truly immersive experience.

Meticulous research into the surrounding architecture and topography has played a crucial role in shaping this design. By studying the local structures and understanding the area's topography, the design team was able to seamlessly integrate the landscape with its surroundings.

AVADH HELICONIA has been recognized for its exceptional design with the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in Landscape Planning and Garden Design in 2019. This award celebrates designs that showcase creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.

With its reflection of Indian traditions and its commitment to local craftsmanship, AVADH HELICONIA stands as a testament to the beauty and grandeur of Gujarat's cultural heritage. It is a design that invites visitors to immerse themselves in the rich history and traditions of India.
